Divided nation

Professor Dieter Helm will open&nbsp;The Spectator's COP26 Summit with a keynote speech, hosted by&nbsp;Spectator&nbsp;editor Fraser Nelson. 
They will be followed by our first panel of the day.&nbsp;This panel will focus on what role nuclear should play for the UK to achieve its net zero target by 2050. Is nuclear the optimal partner for renewables? Or is it too slow and too costly? EDF have committed to the UK’s low carbon future but not without nuclear. We’ll discuss some of their findings and have a more general discussion on public opinion surrounding nuclear energy as an option to net zero.

Keynote from Dieter Helm and the nuclear option to net zero

This panel will focus on what motivates individuals to be green. Is it a sense of moral achievement? To follow the crowd? Or simply, to save money? Smart Energy has worked with the Behavioural Architects to study what it is that turns good intentions on climate into real action. We’ll discuss some of their findings, and have a more general discussion on public opinion surrounding green action.

Motivating to be green

This panel will focus on what we can do in our everyday lives to fight against climate change and save our planet. What micro-actions are most effective? How can we be more careful about our plastic usage? And should some of these actions become regulated by the government? With a range of experts, we’ll discuss some of their views and have a more general discussion on public opinion surrounding everyday green living.

COP26_Oct21_SpecTV-1200x675x2.jpg

The UK is set to host the United Nations Climate Change Conference next month. The talks will bring together thousands of delegates, including heads of state, climate experts and campaigners, to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. But is the country – and the rest of the world – ready to make the changes a green agenda could require? As we recover from the pandemic, is the UK’s goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 realistic? Can nuclear power help fill the gap left by fossil fuels? And how can we encourage consumers to make sustainable choices? 
Join us for a range of panel events featuring Spectator journalists, politicians and industry experts as our summit sets the agenda ahead of COP26. 
Registration is free and open to all.
